How it works
Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks an enzyme required in the body to make cholesterol. It lowers the 'bad' cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides, and raises the 'good' cholesterol (HDL). Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-platelet action. It prevents the platelets from sticking together and decreases the formation of harmful blood clots. This way Novastat CV 10 Capsule prevents blockade of blood vessels and reduces risk of heart attack, angina, or stroke.
